I’m healthier, younger than Kwankwaso – Hanga accuses NDC VP candidate of political victimisation

Senator Rufai Sani Hanga, a former political ally of Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso and the Kwankwasiyya movement, has attacked Kwankwaso, expressing dismay over what he described as flimsy reasons for denying him the opportunity to contest for any political office.

Hanga, who spoke during a radio programme in Kano, said, “How can Kwankwaso cite my age and health condition to deny me the chance to contest for the position of deputy governor or my Senate seat?”

He boasted that, “As of today, I’m healthier than Kwankwaso. His frequent references to my leg condition are nothing but a sham that cannot stand. Let me tell you, on age, he is two years older than I am.”

Senator Hanga explained that his leg problem does not, in any way, affect his legislative duties, adding, “If he is talking about my age, how old was he when he became governor, and how old is he now as a vice-presidential candidate?”
